Access Foundation Programmes are a widening-participation initiative designed to encourage engagement in higher education among underrepresented groups, including those with socioeconomic and educational disadvantage. In particular, mature students enrolled in these programmes experience greater difficulties making the transition to tertiary education, especially when they opt to study disciplines traditionally considered difficult. Computer programming is perceived as a traditionally difficult subject with typically lower pass rates and progression rates than other subjects. This paper descri...

Debate exists regarding ways to improve this situation against the backdrop of National Health Service (NHS) pressures.

Understanding how students' peer learning behaviors change over time would bring benefits such as providing clues to teachers to encourage peer learning.

This paper proposes to use computer simulations as an efficient way to study student behavior dynamics in peer learning environments. Specifically, a student is modeled as an autonomous agent who acts as either a tutor or a lear...
